LEAGUE'S FAILURES
POLISH VIEWPOINT INTERNATIONAL CRISIS GENEVA PARTLY TO BLAME By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright WARSAW, Jan. 10 ''The present international crisis is due partly to the weakness and failures of the League of Nations," said Colonel Beck, Polish Foreign Minister, addressing the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Diet. "The League is not sufficiently strong to enforce the Covenant," added Colonel Beck, "but certain interests are attempting to make it an instrument against totalitarian States, to which Poland does not subscribe. "We are also opposed to the articlebinding members to enforce sanctions against aggressors, and we regret the tendency in some quarters to regard the Italian and German attitude toward the League as unimportant.'' If the League could not solve the problems of migration and raw materials, Poland must find its oun methods of attempting a solution by direct negotiations with individual States on a new scheme of international cooperation. Colonel Beck also attached importance to the future of Palestine and the general problem of Jewish migration.
Subsequently official circles announced that in spite of the criticism, Poland did not intend to leave the League.
